Pisces
We tell ourselves stories in order to live. We interpret what we see, select the most workable of the multiple choices available to us, and when the story no longer works we have to renegotiate it.
Joan Didion
The expectations you carry that make you tired are often not yours to begin with, though you have been holding them so long they feel like your own voice speaking. You can sense this in the way certain disappointments land heavier than they should, as if you are grieving not just what did not happen but what you never actually wanted to happen. The discomfort you feel when you imagine disappointing someone specific is information about whose approval you have been working toward without asking if you want it. What feels like your own high standards might be someone else's old requirements, still running in the background of your days.
